Staples and paperclips don't usually generate too much excitement, but that doesn't mean they should get overlooked when it comes to scrapbooking; they are both meant for paper afterall.
Here are just a few ways that the ordinary office supplies can become crafty stars:
1. String them along.
Practical Scrapper Christa added coloured round and straight paper clips to her design's banner!
2. "Fix" a tear.
Practical Scrapper Julie used stapples to fix the torn and folded paper.
3. Attach your photo.
Practical Scrapper Donna attached her photo with a large paper clip.
4. Make an assemblage
Practical Scrapper Kenya used a staple to hold the sentiment in place and a paper clip to hold the tag. She also used staples and a paper clip under the foil.

I forget about staples and need to remember them more often, especially the ones that go in the Fastenator. They can add so much.
Some very creative ideas here, thanks!
